Tullinge

Tullinge is a suburb of Greater Stockholm, Sweden. It is located in the eastern part of Botkyrka Municipality, on the border to the Flemingsberg part of Huddinge Municipality. It had approximately 20,000 inhabitants in 2011.

Tullinge has become known for the Airforce airfield (F18), now closed down and mostly turned into student apartments.

Tullinge is a part of Stockholm commuter rail, which was built in 1968.

The weather station of Tullinge is located in a frost hollow outside the urban heat island of Stockholm at the old Airforce airfield and regularly sees significantly colder night temperatures compared to the other stations in Stockholm as a result of that. Tullinge has a humid continental climate (Dfb) with a high diurnal range, and a relatively low amount of precipitation as is typical of south-eastern Sweden.

Tullinge was first mentioned in connection with the literary peasant Clauus i þulunge, this happened on May 26, 1353 when he did a soil replacement in Botkyrka. This is mentioned in a legal document from the Svarta Löts ting.

The remains of two prehistoric hillforts are present near Tullingesjön: Skansberget and Örnberget. In the 19th century several artifacts from the Bronze Age and Iron Age were found, including one collection named Tullingeskatten (Tullinge treasure) which included two axes and a shard.[citation needed]

Tullinge has seven primary schools and two secondary schools.
